Gravesite Locator & Service Schedule
Each Texas State Veterans Cemetery has a grave-locator kiosk on site to locate Veterans interred at each location. For a more detailed search of Veterans buried at any national cemetery, state cemetery, or Veteran with a government-issued headstone installed at a private cemetery, please visit the VA Website.
Pre-Registration
Although you can't reserve a burial space, you can pre-register. Complete an interment pre-registration form, attaching a copy of the military discharge form (DD-214) (and a copy of a marriage certificate, if applicable). Send these documents to the Texas State Veterans Cemetery of your choice. The cemetery will verify your eligibility, inform you accordingly, and maintain a copy of these documents so that the next of kin doesn't have to find them at the time of need.

Obtaining Service Documents: National Personnel Records Center
The National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) is the central repository of millions of military personnel, health and medical records of discharged and deceased Veterans of all branches of service during the 20th century. (Records prior to World War I are in Washington, DC). NPRC also stores all military retirees' medical treatment, as well as records for dependents and other persons treated at naval medical facilities. Records information is available upon written request (with signature and date) to the extent allowed by law. To obtain service documents or other relevant military records, visit the NPRC Website.
